Abstract

A helicopter (4) carries a generally horizontal beam (6) that extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the helicopter (4). The beam (6) carries along its length a plurality of mutually spaced magazines (7) for housing flexible cables (8) that can be fed-out to hang down from respective magazines (7) and taken back into said magazine. As the helicopter (4) flies along a power line construction (1), the cables hang down between and outside the power lines (12) of said construction (1), so as to work mechanically on the lines (12) such as to remove snow, ice and water therefrom, at same time as the airstream form the main rotor (41) of the helicopter (4) acts on the power line construction (1) and the cables (8).

Description

A method and a device for removing ice and snow from a powerline
The present invention relates to a method for removing ice and snow from a power line construction of the kind defined in the preamble of the accompanying method Claim.
The invention also relates to a corresponding arrangement of the kind defined in the preamble of the accompanying apparatus Claim.
Rain and snow will occasionally freeze onto the individual power lines of a power line construction in the winter months, and also on trees that border on the so-called power lane. Snow, ice and wind can cause trees to bend inwards over neighbouring power lines or collapse onto said lines. The weight of the snow and ice fastening to the lines may be of such magnitude as to cause a line to break, particularly under the influence of wind and the resonance effects occurring as the lines swing laterally.
It is know that the danger of such consequences can be reduced, by flying a helicopter along the power line construction in its close proximity, so that the airstream projected downwards from the main rotor of the propeller will function to break-up the snow and ice coatings and therewith loosen and dislodge the snow and ice from respective lines. The air flow from the helicopter rotor may, of course, also be directed onto trees in the proximity of the power lane, so as to reduce the risk of trees bending-in over the power line construction or falling onto the power lines under the weight of the snow and ice settling thereon .
The effect obtained with a helicopter is, however, limited, particularly when the snow and ice is frozen hard on the power lines and trees.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique which enables snow and ice to be removed effectively from a power line construction with the aid of an aircraft.
This object is achieved by the present invention. The invention is defined in the accompanying independent method Claim.
The invention is also defined in the accompanying independent apparatus Claim.
Further embodiments of the invention will be apparent from the accompanying dependent method Claims.
A concrete example of the invention requires the use of a helicopter that flies along and above the power line construction, relatively close thereto. The helicopter shall carry a generally horizontal support beam which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the helicopter. Hanging from the support beam are long flexible cables that are spaced evenly along the beam at selected intervals. The support beam and cables, or respective cable magazines, are preferably secured by detachable fasteners, for example screws, such that the position of the centre of gravity of the helicopter will not be changed to any appreciable extent.
The helicopter is intended to fly above the power lines at a height at which the cables will extend down between the lines and lie on respective sides thereof. Because the cables are flexible and are subjected to lateral oscillatory movement relative to the individual lines of the power line construction as the helicopter flies along said lines, the cables are able to act mechanically against the power lines such as to break-up the coatings of snow and ice, which is then able to fall down onto the ground below.
The cables swing partly in the direction in which the helicopter travels, due partly to the slipstream and the effect of the wind, and partly to the effect of the downwardly acting airstream from the main rotor of the helicopter.
The individual lines of the power line construction are thus subjected to a powerful airstream, primarily from the main rotor of the helicopter, and also to mechanical treatment from the cables, wherein the rotor airstream and other airstreams ensure that the cables will be swung laterally even when the helicopter flies along the power line construction. The cables are provided with weakenings or fracture points that have a well-defined and limited breaking strength. This reduces the danger of a helicopter crashing as a result of a suspended cable-part fastening to a power line.
The helicopter and the cables may, of course, be steered to influence trees situated close to the power lane, if so desired.
The cables may be supported from the beam through the medium of a cable magazine that is designed to enable adjustments to be made to the length of cable hanging from the beam. The cable magazine may be operable in a manner to enable an adjustment to be made to the length of the individual cable hanging from the beam.
The cable may be produced with a predetermined tensile strength that ensures that the tensile force in the cable prior to its fracture will lie beneath a predetermined value, with the intention of reducing the risk of the arrangement breaking-up should one or more cables fasten, or to prevent the helicopter from crashing as a result of one or more cables fastening in the power line construction or in a tree.
The support beam and the cable magazine are preferably positioned at a level above the support surface of the aircraft landing gear.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 illustrates a helicopter that carries a power line working arrangement.
Fig. 2 is a view taken on the line II-II in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectioned view taken on the line III-III in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectioned view of a cable.
Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate a power line construction 1 situated in a power lane 2 that passes through woodland, e.g. a forest. The power line construction 1 includes posts 11, which cany a number of overhead lines 12. A helicopter 4 is shown to carry above its landing gear 5 a crossbeam 6, which extends generally horizontal and transversal to the longitudinal axis of the helicopter 4. The crossbeam 6 carries a number of cable magazines 7 in mutually spaced relationship along the beam 6. Each magazine 7 includes a flexible cable 8, which hangs down from its respective magazine. The magazine 7 is adapted to enable the length of cable 8 hanging therefrom to be adjusted.
The helicopter may conveniently take-off and land with the cables 8 essentially fully drawn into their respective magazines 7. When the cables are withdrawn, the cable ends will preferably project out from respective magazines to some short extent, for instance through a distance of 0.5 m. When the helicopter is airborne, the magazines 7 are caused to feed out an appropriate length of respective cables 8. This enables the helicopter pilot to fly above and along the power line construction 1 and to fly the helicopter at a height at which cables 8 will hang down between and outwardly of respective overhead lines 12.
The lines 12 are subjected to a powerful, pulsating and downwardly acting airstream from the main rotor 41 of the helicopter, such as to free the lines 12 from snow, ice and water and possibly also to cause the lines 12 to swing. The airstream from the main rotor 41 will, of course, also affect the cables 8 and cause said cables to swing. As the helicopter moves along the power line construction 1, the horizontal flight direction of the helicopter will often deviate from the direction of the power lines 12. Consequently, the cables 8 will strike against the lines 12 as the helicopter flies along the power line construction 1, and will also slide against the cables so as to contribute to the removal of snow, ice and water from the lines 12, and also from the posts 11 and the means 13 by which the lines 12 are suspended from the posts 11.
As illustrated, the helicopter carries a device 90, which may have the form of a compressed air-cannon and/or an ultrasound cannot and/or a laser unit which, e.g., may be directed downwards so as to remove snow, ice and water from, e.g., the power lines when activated.
If the trees 9 bordering on the power lane 2 are in danger of bending-in over the power line structure, the helicopter carrying said cable arrangement may, of course, also be flown along the lane 2 so as to knock ice, snow and water from the trees, in a con-esponding manner. Fig. 3 illustrates the carrier beam 6 and the magazine 7 carrying the cable 8 in larger scale. As shown, tire magazine 7 may include a cable drum 71 which is powered by a motor 72 for taking up and paying out the cable 8, wherein the motor may be remotely controlled, e.g., from the interior of the helicopter 4. Each magazine 7 is preferably connected to the carrier beam via an explosive fuse which when activated (e.g. by remote control from the pilot, or automatically when its load exceeds a given value) separates the whole of the magazine from said carrier beam.
The cable 8 is given a predetermined breaking strength, so that it will be pulled off if the tensile force exceeds a chosen value. For example, the cable 8 may comprise a series of cable sections that are mutually connected via weakenings 82 or the like that define fracture points in respect of the cable 8. The weakenings of fracture points 82 may be graded so as to provide an increasingly lower breaking limit towards the bottom end of the cable 8.
The cable 8 and its sections 81 will preferably be comprised of a non-conductive material. The flexibility or suppleness of the cables 8 will preferably be chosen so that the cable 8 will have a low tendency to wrap itself around a line carrier 13, for instance. The cables 8 may conveniently have a relatively high mass and may, for instance, be comprised of a hose that is filled with sand and closed to form a cable section 81, wherewith said closure may include a fracture means 82 in the form of a weakening in the hose-closing weld.
